The Pinnacle Overlook Trail at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park near Middlesboro Kentucky, is an easy 0.2 mile out-and-back hike to Pinnacle Overlook - Cumberland Gap's most iconic overlook.
The trail is short but well worth the drive to the top of the mountain in the middle of Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. By following the trail, you cross from Kentucky into Virginia, where the overlook lies.
Below is the town of Cumberland Gap, Virginia, and you can see the Tri-State Peak where Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet in the park.
With stunning views of the valley below, this is a must-see if you're driving by Cumberland Gap National Historical Park.

MyHikes is an independently-owned platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave / Admin. We share trails, hikes, and backpacking trips on the interwebs for the fun of it and put a ton of time into mapping and writing about new trails to publish each month.
It takes a lot of time, money, and effort (including espresso shots) to run MyHikes, so we simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time payment. Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation and it's free!
Regardless, thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!
